COORDINATES - Focal Point
The project has a site-specific aim in as much as it brings artists who are normally studio based out into the landscape and the environs of Harlech.
The challenge then is to make a piece of work suitable for exhibition with limited facilities and within the time constraints. The work should have contexttural relevance to the COORDINATES, exhibition title.
